I went to Target and bought a bunch of basketball packs to commemorate the Hawks taking the evil Celts to the brink in their playoff series. I'm gonna rip 'em all right now and post them all at once because when if my Birds falter tonight I'll never bother to write up these packs. I got three from Upper Deck and three from Topps to make it all even. I probably should have gotten one more pack in honor of game seven but there's a limit to how many basketball cards even I can stand. Whoever has more cards out of these packs, Hawks or Celts, will surely win the game tonight because all sporting contests in the world ultimately hinge on which packs a blogger purchases from a Target on Highway 41 in Acworth. rrrrrrrrrrip!

Ray Allen almost ruined the pack, but the Horford insert card makes not only this pack, but the resto f them as well. I guess it's technically tied even though Ray is still in his Sonics uniform. I got two coupons in this sucker too. While I don't need a basketball, I might actually use the Upper Deck code for once. There's a Phil Niekro trading card/car thingy on there that has caught my eye. Yeah, it's stupid, but I love the ol' knuckleballer.

Nique saves the day on the last pack! Take that ya Irish bastids! Three of the 5 cards are miscut though, LeBron and Rip have a little extra bit of a basketball on the bottom of their cards. Who cares, man. Hawks are gonna win and I got a card of Magic to boot. W00t!

Update: Apparently this was A Pack A Day's 500th post and I didn't even notice. Oh well. Time to write another 500.

In my memory, it seemed like my Bucks met the Hawks every year for like a decade straight in the first round of the playoffs. That was back when you had the pure 5-game series to open the playoffs. Now we play until the 4th of July.

If the Celtics are evil then where does that put the team that's been trash talking and acting like thugs the entire series? We're lucky we've got a point guard for the next series and that Pierce wasn't hurt badly in game 1.
